At night, four people took turns to keep vigil, Bai Yujing was in second place, the forest at night was very quiet, only the sound of the waterfall remained, Bai Yujing was bored and guarded the bonfire to add firewood to it, the dark red flames flickered, reflecting Bai Yujing's long figure, in the middle of the night, he returned to the tent and called Li Hao, this guy yawned and got up reluctantly: "This sleeps halfway up and gets up, it's really uncomfortable!" ”

Bai Yujing took off his coat, and then stuffed the straight knife into his hand: "Okay, be careful, don't doze off, lift your spirits, and when the time comes, go to the tent and call the strong son out!" ”

At this time, it was dark outside, Li Hao sat next to the bonfire, with the beating of the flames, he felt that a large group of shadows around him was constantly flickering, the shadows of trees, the shadows of stones, tents, and his own shadows were intertwined, there was a smell of demons dancing wildly, Li Hao's drowsiness woke up half of a sudden, and the cold wind blew on his body, Li Hao couldn't help rubbing his arms.

"It's a bit oozing in this place at night!"

Li Hao was still able to cheer up at first, but after sitting for a long time, as he became familiar with the sounds around him, the whole person dozed off again, and the sound of the waterfall not far away sounded like a lullaby.

At this time, a light voice jumped down from the tree in the forest, and after walking around the tent very curiously, he approached Li Hao from behind, and Li Hao, who was fighting with his upper and lower eyelids, did not notice that there was an extra shadow behind him, and after observing Li Hao, the shadow slowly retreated.

"Hey! It's time, you go back to rest, and then I'll guard it! ”

Li Hao arched his head and fell on his knees, and woke up immediately after being patted on the shoulder by Zhong Qiang, Zhong Qiang frowned, and didn't say anything, after all, he and Lao Qi were nominally hired by this big lord.

Li Hao also felt embarrassed after rubbing his face, but he didn't expect to fall asleep after keeping vigil: "I'm sorry, nothing happened while sitting and sitting, so I didn't hold back!" ”

"It's okay, you can go in and rest!"

At this time, there were still several hours before dawn The bonfire gradually became smaller, Zhong Qiang added a handful of firewood to it, listened to the crackling sound of the matches, stared at the forests and mountains in the distance, and waited until the sky was bright before he stood up, stretched his waist, and was ready to wash his face and call everyone to go, but just after taking two steps, Zhong Qiang's face changed, and he immediately retreated.

I only saw a few dirty mud footprints on the ground around the tent.

Bai Yujing and the others were also startled, everyone got dressed and rushed out, looking at this row of strange footprints, Bai Yujing looked at it carefully, and said with a strange expression: "These footprints? How does it feel like a human being? ”

Li Hao looked at it and shook his head: "No, this is in the mountains, who can walk barefoot without shoes?" Isn't it some kind of monkey or orangutan? ”

Zhong Qiang and Lao Qi have more experience in the jungle, and after observing, they confirmed at the same time: "This is not a monkey and an orangutan, they are not right, but it is not very similar to a human, this is a flat foot, it is not absent among humans, but it is very few, and this toe is not the same as a human!" ”

After Zhong Qiang saw this footprint, his expression flickered, as if he recognized what it was, but he was not very sure, Bai Yujing immediately asked after seeing it: "Qiangzi, do you know what this is?" ”

Zhong Qiang shook his head: "I don't know, it may be some kind of special animal in Shennongjia!" But how did it get close to me? I was very vigilant during my vigil, and it was impossible for him to get here and I was able not to notice it, indicating that the footprints were left before! ”

Bai Yujing also recalled: "I didn't find this row of footprints when I was keeping vigil!" ”

As soon as Bai Yujing finished speaking, he immediately looked at Li Hao: "Li Hao, did you doze off when you kept vigil?" I don't know what animal is so close that you can sleep, you really have a big heart. ”

Li Hao also felt a little embarrassed, but looking at these footprints, he also felt that his face turned white: "I didn't expect it, Lao Bai, this thing can't be the thing you felt staring at us yesterday, right?" ”

Bai Yujing thought for a moment: "Very likely, what the hell is this?" ”

After discussing it and there was no result, Bai Yujing and the three of them no longer delayed time, and were ready to set off again, as long as they crossed the mountain where the waterfall was located, they really entered the core area of Shennongjia, this place, even the local old medicine farmers and hunters did not dare to go in, the place they went deep into at most, that is, this outside circle, plus the ban on hunting is relatively strict now, there are really not many people who enter the mountain, most of the guides are outside according to the established route and go back, It is also very rare to go deep into the area of Savage Bay.

Carrying a big mountaineering bag up the mountain, Bai Yujing found that this mountain is not so easy to climb, it is very steep, especially when going up, almost all of it has become a slope of sixty or seventy degrees, and there are many places that are directly ninety degrees of rocks.

Bai Yujing and the others were still relatively familiar, and after briefly explaining the triangle fixation and some simple climbing skills with Li Hao, Li Hao also followed Bai Yujing in a similar way, climbing towards the top.

The more he climbed up, Li Hao looked down, and he was also a little frightened: "Why should we go from here, isn't there any other way?" This place is too dangerous, if we fall or have a rockfall, our little life will be gone! ”

Lao Qi explained: "This is the fastest way into the mountain, if you want to choose other roads, you need to go around a big circle, and several places are also quite dangerous, but this is the safest one!" ”

"And this mountain road is not so difficult to climb, don't you see that you are a novice who also climbs up?"

After climbing to the top of the mountain, the sun rose in the sky, and the light became bright and hot, shining on the boulders on the top of the mountain, the view was very beautiful, this mountain was the highest mountain in the vicinity, and it could overlook all the surrounding areas and scenery.

Bai Yujing stepped on a stone, and the cliff on the other side was not far from the waterfall, from here you could see the thin water flowing down from below, and Bai Yujing was more concerned about the end of the mountain, the core area of Shennongjia that Bai Yujing was about to enter.

However, at this time, several people present were stunned, and looked at the situation on the other side of the mountain in amazement, as if they had seen some incredible scene.

I only saw that from the foot of the mountain here to look into the distance, I found that the dense white fog shrouded all the small peaks and jungles, the clouds and mist were shrouded, the clouds and mountains and the sea of clouds, standing at the foot of this mountain, it felt as if it was above the clouds, the sun shone on this dense fog, and it was impossible to penetrate this layer of cover, and see the scene under the dense fog.

Everything was obscured by a thick fog, no forest in sight, no ground in sight, only a faint shadow and the occasional mountain tip leaking out of the fog.

"That's what you're talking about? Smoke miasma? Bai Yujing looked back at Lao Qi and Zhong Qiang.

Lao Qi and Zhong Qiang didn't expect to see such a situation when they came here, Lao Qi stammered for a long time before saying: "I haven't been here either, I just heard what others said, but it shouldn't be like this here some time ago, there was fog, but there was no situation like this that completely covered the entire core area, this is too wrong!" ”
